Abstract
We have described four patients with Crimean- Congo hemorrhagic fever which acquired the illness following
consumption of uncooked sheep liver. Three patients admitted to hospital nearly 36 hours after eating the liver with
acute fever and with quick treatment they respond to therapy. Unfortunately, one patient who was referred late to
hospital and treatment was after 5 days of the beginning of the first sign, died. Here in, we described four patients who

were members of a family (one sister and two brothers) and the fourth was their friend who invited to their party
